Description

The proposed development area comprises c.3.35ha of land to the north of Clipstone, to the northeast of Mansfield in Nottinghamshire. The proposed development area is located within an area of rough pasture to the northwest of Cavendish Way and southeast of the Clipstone Way. Geomagnetic measurements were determined using a Bartington Grad 601-2 dual gradiometer system, with twin sensors set 1m apart. It was expected that significant archaeological features at a depth of up to 1.5m would be detected using this arrangement. The survey was undertaken using a zig-zag traverse scheme, with data being logged in 30m grid units. A sample interval of 0.25m was used, with a traverse interval of 1m, providing 3600 sample measurements per grid unit, with measurements being recorded at the centre of each grid cell. Magnetic disturbance has been detected in several parts of the site associated with modern structures. The geophysical survey has also detected several weak geophysical anomalies, the nature of which is uncertain. The results of the geophysical survey were inconclusive regarding the possible presence or absence of archaeological features due to the disturbed nature of the site.
